An old ramshackle Ottoman Fort that's a bit dusty but worth a visit. Fought over by the British and French in 19C has some good exhibits highlights include climbing a watch tower to look down on a map of Roman Egypt (and good views of...More

Neat old fort with a lot of history, but very little support in the way of exhibits, information, or even cleaning the place up. Fine to visit if you have nothing to do, but I wouldn't budget valuable vacation time in hopes of a cool...More

Cheap entry with guided tour. Still in good order the watch tower is well worth the climb. Great views over Quesir and the sea. The underground water cistern is in great condition but it's worth taking a torch with you. Old English cannons still in...More
